Adding dry milled rice flour is great for producing a crispy texture while the wet milled variety gives it a bit of a chewy bite.
Step 2: Whisk it. Add some water to make the mixture smooth.
Not too thick, not too runny
Step 3: Coat the banana slices with the mixture
Step 4: Deep-fry until the skin is golden brown. It should not take long for the banana fritters to be ready.

The Ingredients needed in order to prepare these friend bananas are simple and easy to purchase. Ingredients includes, 4 to 5 ripe bananas, three forth cup of rice flour, a pinch of salt, one and a half cup of water, and of course oil for frying the bananas. It is essentially made up of two types of rice flour. One is dry milled while the other one is wet milled. The dry milled rice flour is great for producing the crispy texture while the wet milled variety gives it a bit of a chewy bite. Combine the flour and salt with water until a medium batter forms, then combine the sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Whisk the water into the mixture of both flours and salt until smooth. Add oil to a medium saucepan to reach a depth of 6cm. Heat to 190C over medium heat (when the oil is ready, a cube of bread will turn golden in 10 seconds.) Dip 4 banana slices in the batter covering them with a generous coating of batter and gently slide them into the hot oil. Carefully add to the oil and deep-fry for 3 minutes or until crisp and just golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 5 more batches, with the remaining banana and batter, reheating the oil between batches. Transfer the Pisang Goreng to a serving platter then remove from heat and drain off excess oil before tucking in.
